"Professor He, you think too highly of me. How could I have avoided it? "Gu Nianzhi secretly made a face and said with a smile," My face still hurts! "
He Zhichu was speechless.
He wanted to go see her, but remembered that his fever had just subsided. If it was a viral cold, it could be contagious.
After a while, he said to Gu Nianzhi, "Turn on the video and let me see your face."
Gu Nianzhi giggled and turned on the video on her phone. She said with ill intentions, "You have to be mentally prepared. Don't be scared by me …"
He Zhichu was mentally prepared, but when he saw Gu Nianzhi's youthful and flawless face on the phone screen, he knew he had fallen for her trap.
"Naughty." He Zhichu scolded her dryly, but he wasn't angry, nor was he unhappy or embarrassed by her teasing.
He had been too worried and had forgotten about Gu Nianzhi's special constitution.
"But they did hit you, right?" He Zhichu's fingers caressed Gu Nianzhi's beautiful oval face on the phone screen. "… Does it hurt?"
"It hurts, of course it hurts. I'm not made of iron, how can I not feel pain?" Gu Nianzhi took an exaggerated breath. "But it doesn't really hurt. It's much better than the previous injuries."
This didn't comfort He Zhichu. Instead, it made him even more depressed.
He looked at Gu Nianzhi for a while before asking, "Then do you still want to go to the Senate?"
"Of course, why wouldn't I go? If I just leave like this, wouldn't I have been beaten for nothing? "Gu Nianzhi pointed to the right side of her face." Speaker Long said this isn't over! So I have to keep an eye on it, in case someone with ulterior motives ends it … "
He Zhichu sensed that there was a hidden meaning in her words and asked keenly, "Is it your colleague who wants to mess with you?"
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
Was her meaning that obvious?
That wasn't good.
Gu Nianzhi held the phone and lay down on the bed. She smiled and changed the topic. "Professor He, although Speaker Long said this isn't over and the Senate will come forward to seek justice for me, I can't just sit around and wait for someone else to seek justice for me."
"What do you want to do?" He Zhichu understood immediately. Gu Nianzhi wanted to sue someone again …
"I want to spread the word that in addition to suing the person who hit me, the Prime Minister and Mrs. Prime Minister will also have to bear joint responsibility and demand a large amount of compensation from the Office of the Prime Minister."
If that person still didn't take the bait, she could only take the initiative to attack.
He Zhichu only had one word for what Gu Nianzhi wanted to do. He nodded without hesitation. "Okay. Do you want to make a statement, or should I do it for you?"
"You're my secret weapon, so I have to hide it first." Gu Nianzhi giggled. "I'll go to work at the Senate tomorrow and spread the word through the media."
Not long after she hung up with He Zhichu, Ma Qiqi called.
"Nianzhi, are you okay?" Ma Qiqi had seen Gu Nianzhi on the news and had been worried about her. However, Yin Shixiong had told her to contact Gu Nianzhi at night, so she had waited patiently until now.
Gu Nianzhi almost said she was fine, but she changed her words when the words were on the tip of her tongue. She said tactfully, "I'm okay. It doesn't hurt anymore."
"How can those people from the Office of the Prime Minister be so perverted?!" Ma Qiqi was indignant. "They can be so heavy-handed to a woman. Don't hit people in the face. They're breaking all kinds of taboos! "
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "Qiqi, you weren't there at the time. Those people were indeed perverts! Their words were unbearable! Prime Minister Tan is cutting off all means of retreat. He doesn't even care about his reputation! "
"He cares about his reputation?!" Ma Qiqi snickered. "That video of his was so embarrassing. How could he still have any reputation? But to be honest, I also admire these politicians. They're so thick-skinned that normal people can't compare. If this had happened to a normal person, they'd probably be so ashamed that they'd want to commit suicide. Look at Prime Minister Tan. Not only did he refuse to commit suicide, but he also refused to step down! He didn't even help the wall, but he helped him! "
"That's for sure. The first key to being a politician is to be thick-skinned. Normal people care about their reputation, so they can't do this kind of difficult work. "Gu Nianzhi joked with Ma Qiqi for a while.
Ma Qiqi saw that Gu Nianzhi was in good spirits and finally relaxed. "It's getting late. You should rest. Are you resting at home tomorrow? I'll come and see you. "
Gu Nianzhi quickly said, "I still have to go to work at the Senate tomorrow. I'll be home on the weekend. Do you want to come? "
"You still have to go to work tomorrow? Is your injury okay? "Ma Qiqi was very worried." Do you need to apply medicine? "
How could Gu Nianzhi see people with a face full of medicine?!
Gu Nianzhi smiled and winked. "I have a mask. I'll wear it tomorrow."
Ma Qiqi suddenly remembered the footage of Gu Nianzhi walking out of the hospital on TV. She had indeed been wearing a black and white panda mask.
"Okay. If it's nothing serious, of course going out to work is better than letting your imagination run wild at home." Ma Qiqi knew that Gu Nianzhi couldn't stay idle, so she reminded her again and again. She promised to visit her on the weekend before hanging up.
Gu Nianzhi looked at her watch. It was already 10 p.m., so it was time to sleep.
She yawned and lay down to sleep.
She slept so soundly that she didn't even have a dream.
She woke up very early the next morning, but she purposely waited until 8 before leaving the house.
Anyway, with her current condition, no one would really care if she was late or not …
She wore the black and white panda mask Huo Shaoheng had given her. She didn't drive herself but took the subway to the vicinity of the Senate building, then walked over on foot.
As she walked, she gave the reporters ample time to recognize her.
Because when she left the hospital yesterday, she had been wearing the same black and white panda mask. It was very distinctive.
Looking at her figure and demeanor, it was very similar to the female Senate staff member who had been beaten up yesterday.
When everyone looked at the badge hanging on her chest, they immediately realized that she was Gu Nianzhi!
The female Senate staff member who had been beaten up yesterday!
So the reporters swarmed over and aimed their microphones and cameras at Gu Nianzhi as they asked questions.
"May I ask if you are Miss Gu? What do you think about yesterday's incident? "
"Miss Gu, the Office of the Prime Minister has already bailed out the spokesperson who hit you, and the police station has not filed any charges. May I ask if you have anything to say?"
Gu Nianzhi stopped in her tracks and looked steadily at the reporter who said the person who hit her had already been bailed out. She replied calmly, "Are you sure? I haven't heard of this news. "
"I'm sure, I'm sure. Does Miss Gu want to see the source of the news?" The reporter, who wanted to see the world in chaos, happily took out his phone to show Gu Nianzhi the source of the news.
Gu Nianzhi looked down for a while before looking up.
At that moment, everyone could clearly see that the pair of large, watery eyes above the mask were already a bit red. She asked in a choked voice, "… So he hit me, and it's just going to be left unsettled? I'm sorry, but I can't accept this kind of result. I want Prime Minister Tan and Mrs. Prime Minister to know that although I'm just a normal civilian, my personal safety cannot be violated. You hit me, so you must pay the price. I will hire a lawyer to file a lawsuit against the spokesperson from the Office of the Prime Minister and Mrs. Prime Minister who hit me. You can wait for my lawyer's letter. "
The reporters were instantly excited when they heard that.
He had waited for the headlines so early in the morning!
Therefore, in high spirits, they began to broadcast the scene that happened in front of the parliament building in the morning to their respective television stations and media outlets.
The news that Gu Nianzhi said she was going to sue the spokesperson who hit her and even Prime Minister Tan and the Prime Minister's wife spread like wildfire online.
Gu Nianzhi hadn't even walked into the Senate building when Special Assistant Yang, who was in his office, learned about the scene that had taken place at the entrance of the building. He couldn't help but slap the table angrily.
"She's not going to let it go! The Prime Minister's residence has already said that they want to negotiate with us. Is she crazy?! — — Tell tell tell! You only know how to sue! She made it sound like she could win if she wanted to sue! It's just to show off! "
The people in the Secretariat of the Senate looked at each other, not daring to respond.
They had very complicated feelings about Gu Nianzhi being beaten up.
As ordinary staff, of course, they hoped to severely punish the culprit, so that their own safety could be guaranteed, and they wouldn't have to fight for nothing.
But as Gu Nianzhi's colleagues, they didn't want to see a new intern get so much attention …
Therefore, they all remained silent and didn't support or oppose it.
Special Assistant Yang was well-versed in the art of office survival. He vented his temper and expressed his stance before saying to his secretary, "When Miss Gu arrives, ask her to come to my office."
Gu Nianzhi had just walked into the Secretariat when she was taken to see Special Assistant Yang.
"Miss Gu, you are a staff member of the Senate. You can't represent the Senate to casually speak to media reporters outside." Special Assistant Yang tried his best to maintain a kind expression as he spoke to Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi looked around in shock. "I didn't represent the Senate to speak outside … Is there some misunderstanding, Special Assistant Yang?"
Whose mouth was so long?
Gu Nianzhi had wanted to go talk to Speaker Long herself, but these people had already reported her?
The corners of Special Assistant Yang's mouth twitched. "Do you want me to pull up the video? Although the place where you spoke was outside the Senate building, that place is also monitored. "
Gu Nianzhi nodded calmly. "Sure, you play it, I'll watch."
Was she not going to give up until she saw the coffin?
Special Assistant Yang clenched his teeth and also became serious.
He asked someone to pull up the surveillance video from outside and opened it on his computer. He said to Gu Nianzhi, "Miss Gu, look at it yourself. Are you still going to say that you didn't represent the Senate to speak to the media outside?"
The computer showed Gu Nianzhi's face with a mask on, but her voice was very clear. It was the video of her saying that she wanted to send a lawyer's letter to the spokesperson, Prime Minister Tan, and the Prime Minister's wife.
"Yes, what about it?" Gu Nianzhi pretended to be confused. "I want to sue these people. Is there something wrong with that?"
"There's nothing wrong with that, but you can't represent the Senate to speak nonsense outside!" Special Assistant Yang was furious. Wasn't this girl very smart and capable?
Why does it seem like there's something wrong with his brain?
Gu Nianzhi laughed and shook her finger. "Special Assistant Yang, I think you've misunderstood. I spoke to the reporters on my own behalf, not on behalf of the Senate. "
"Ok, then the cost of your lawyer's lawsuit will be entirely borne by you. It's not a financial burden for the Senate." Special Assistant Yang immediately made the decision and looked at her with a victorious expression.
She would have to pay for the lawsuit with the Office of the Prime Minister herself. This girl was just waiting to go bankrupt …
The Senate wouldn't pay a single cent anyway.
"I'm a lawyer myself, and a trial lawyer at that. Special Assistant Yang, what kind of misunderstanding do you have about my abilities? "Gu Nianzhi pouted in disdain." If there's nothing else, I'm going to work. "
She turned to leave without waiting for Special Assistant Yang to speak.
Gu Nianzhi's speech quickly calmed the small wave of commotion in the Senate building. However, it caused a huge uproar online and at the Office of the Prime Minister.
"Mommy! Gu Nianzhi really wants to sue you and Daddy?! " Tan Guiren had been at the Senate for the past few days. She had been invited out yesterday, but she had been waiting outside the Senate building.
She was also very sorry about the assault and had been looking for an opportunity to apologize to Gu Nianzhi. However, her mother, Cai Songyin, wouldn't allow her to go.
Cai Songyin didn't take Gu Nianzhi's threat to heart at all.
"She wants to sue me and the Prime Minister? Haha, she'll have to clean up her own 'scandal' first. " Cai Songyin was also waiting to sue the blogger so she could show off the short article about Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng …
If it wasn't for the assault that had suddenly occurred yesterday, she would have gone to court to file the case.
Now the Office of the Prime Minister was busy with the public relations crisis of "the spokesperson of the Office of the Prime Minister assaulted a female Senate staff member." They were so busy that Cai Songyin's plan to sue the blogger was temporarily put on hold.
Cai Songyin had to rush to a meeting with the media bosses to ask for their support and try to fight again. She could only hastily comfort Tan Guiren. "Little Darling, it's fine. Let her sue. We have your cousin, so we're not afraid!" She then left.
However, Tan Guiren felt that this was their fault from the start. Although she had been outside the door at the time, it was no different from being there. She had seen the video, so it was their fault. If they had to sue, they would definitely lose.
Cai Songyin's perfunctory attitude made her feel that the situation was urgent. The entire Office of the Prime Minister was in a mess because of this incident. They couldn't even spare any manpower for the most important temporary election campaign.
Tan Guiren really wanted to share her parents' worries.
She hesitated at the Office of the Prime Minister for a while before finally sneaking out alone and heading to the Senate building.
